Appendix A: Events and Messages

This appendix lists the MegaRAID Storage Manager events that can appear in the event log.
MegaRAID Storage Manager software monitors the activity and performance of all controllers in the workstation and
the devices attached to them. When an event occurs, such as the start of an initialization, an event message appears in
the log at the bottom of the MegaRAID Storage Manager main menu window. The messages are also logged in the
Windows Application log (Event Viewer).
A.1 Error Levels
Each message that appears in the event log has a Severity level that indicates the severity of the event, as shown in
the following table.

event is generated.
